Happy 101st Birthday to Akira Yoshizawa
Today Google is celebrating the life of renowned origami master Akira Yoshizawa, who would have been exactly 101 years of age today. The Google homage below was created by famous origami master Robert Lang representing the styles and techniques learned through Akira.
In his time and as well as today, Akira was revered as the grandmaster of origami where he transformed the meaning from mere craft into the living art as we know it today. According to an estimation made in 1989, he created more than 50,000 models, of which only several hundred were documented in his 18 books. Akira is widely known for his technique of wet-folding, which allowed the use of thick papers and allowed for soft curves, gentle shapes and rounded, organic forms. He also developed the standard for origami, which has now been the standard for instruction for more than 50 years.
